A new PAYDAY 3 update announcement has revealed that the controversial anti-tamper/DRM technology has been removed. The news comes mere days ahead of the game's September 21 release for PC and consoles which is a little surprising given the short window before launch. One of the theories behind the decision is that perhaps since the game is mostly played online having Denuvo wouldn't be needed in the first place. However, it is unusual for the game's publisher, Deep Silver, to allow this.

I doubt this will help them much given that the beta wasn't well received last weekend.

Still, it's always a win when a dev ditches that piece-of-sh1t DRM. No game should ever launch with it. Glad they realized their mistake and changed course.

PayDay 2 was a DLC train of epic proportions, and 3 is gonna end up the same way. PD2 was a good LANParty game though.
